Honors Scholars Day

On March 28th, the Honors Program hosted its annual Honors Scholars Day.  This event matches an incoming honors student with a current honors student to see what everyday life is like for students in the Honors Program at Stockton.  At 8am, mentees began filing into Meeting Room 5.  They were given a name tag, offered breakfast, and then whisked away by their mentors to class.

Mentees were matched up with mentors that had the same major as them for the most part, though there were a few mentees who had to be matched up with someone else.  On the whole, it was a great way for prospective Stockton Honors students to see first-hand what attending Stockton could be like.

My mentee was a geology major.  Luckily we had many requirements in common, and he seemed to enjoy the classes I brought him to.  It was a really great experience, and I had a lot of fun!  I attended Honors Scholars Day as a mentee last year, and it was really cool to see what college life would be like.  I loved taking part as a mentor this year – it was like my whole freshman honors experience had come full circle.  I can’t wait to do it again next year!
